From Glacier Point 1927

Ansel Adams's iconic black and white photograph, "From Glacier Point," taken in 1927, captures the grandeur of Yosemite National Park. Adams, a master of landscape photography, uses the sharp contrasts of light and shadow to accentuate the rugged beauty of Half Dome and the surrounding snow-capped peaks. The image, framed by a silhouetted tree, evokes a sense of awe and vastness, showcasing Adams's signature style of "straight photography."
